All the evidence has to be revealed before someone should believe this. These boys are only accused for now. There should be a fair trial. If it had been a migrant worker, Israel would never reveal that to the world and embarass itself. It badly needs this to be of Palestinian doing. So one should be very wary of their investigations.

She probably taught her son that Jews were apes and pigs and spawn of the devil since birth, and probably told him how proud she was when he came back with his bloodstained shirt. She's indirectly responsible too.

Which international press are you referring to. Maybe Al-Jazira. Are you really Smith from TA,Israel? litvac120

I tend to doubt your allegations about the IDF's conduct are true. But even assuming they are (and that would be very grave - if this can indeed be unequivocally proven), my question to you is - how come THIS is the only issue you find the need to comment on? Why didn't you comment with the same passion against the horrific murder itself? Why don't you ever express any outrage over the Palestinians 'purity of arms'? Have you ever made a comment here which does not criticize mostly Israel and/or the IDF? I am quite certain that had this case been reversed, and a settler would have butchered in cold blood a family of 5 Palestinians, then I'm pretty sure you'd be among the first to scream and foam over Israel's 'war crimes'. It is this kind of hypocrisy and double-standard which exposes your lefitst bias and reduces your credibility here.

I have just seen an ocean of murder & mahem committed in the name of Islam over the years to have any real doubt as to their guilt. How does one live with one's self after personally stabbing children? The essence of evil.

Probably you need stop reading the successors of Der Sturmer and Volkische Beobachter , Pravda and Izvestia and start to watch less biased sources.

This mother should be very proud of the job she has done raising this miserable murdering butcher, of a son. May He, she, her ancestors, children and children's children for 10,000 years rot in whatever hell the "religion of peace" has for them.

this coming from a liberal draft dodging coward in tel aviv. go move to gaza

I would like to be left wing but I find their reasoning to be problematic. When Shlomo Nativ, a 12 yr old bly was killed in Bat Ayin, the left wing response was "Bat Ayin is violent and they deserve it since they stole Arab land". They believe that since we get sad about murder, though we don't act, we are violent. And that the punishment for land theft (whether or not that claim is true) is random murder of underaged civilians. Here, the claim seems to be that IDF ransacking homes of civilians justifies killing babies and their families in their sleep.

published ? did their lawyers comment - do they have any ?

I hope the monsters were captured, but it is up to a court of law to determine if the suspects are really the murderers. The real murderers could still be at large. I wish I had 100% faith in our security services but I don't have 100% faith in anyone or anything.

After a few decades in prison he'll wish that he did actually martyr himself. He'll be begging for a bullet from the guard. He will be an old man if or when gets out.

Seems that this village and especially the Awad family with its tight connections to terrorists is a nest of potential murderers. Israeli justice, I trust on it, will surely find out if whether this two boys have commited this brutal act. This mother - despite all respect to her in the role of mother - doesn't appear trustworthy.

The IDF bombs, shoots and takes away the Palestinain people basic rights. You wonder why they retaliate? Many palestinian families have been through the same heartache - unfortunatley, some lives are more equal than others in Israel.

First, as we do in this country, the fine details of such a heinous crime are kept secret. The purpose is to be able to weed out the truly guilty. Because only the true murderer will know those secret details, usually pretty gory. My feeling is these guys are guilty, and Israel has one of the most respected legal systems in the world. Unlike the Arabs, who may accuse another Arab of collaborating with Israel, and then, just execute him in the middle of the night (has been done hundreds of times). Israel brings people to trial with a lawyer to represent them. If found guilty they are sentenced to prison. I always worry that people like that might get out in a trade for Shalit. Israel says they won't let people go with "blood on their hands", but I don't think that has been entirely true? But maybe I'm wrong? You seem awful worried about the rights of these self confessed killers, why is that? Were you upset at all by the vileness of the crime? or is your outrage selective in nature?

know for sure that is that arabs lie, are taught to lie and his mother would lie no matter what. also she is proud of this act so i suspect she knew of it or encouraged it.

The Zoroastrians were highly skilled mathematicians and astronomers back in the day. Islam simply invaded their land, oppressed them, and took their knowledge. Islam's success here was spreading the knowledge, but it came a a high price to those living in the land they invade.

but your ilk read it as "convicted and sentenced" and began demanding arrests and boycotts all around. The Intl community is hardly in a moral position to dictate whether or not these two are guilty, but send an observer, please. The evidence is pretty overwhelming, including the entire town collaborating on hiding the evidence. Israel in the past has accused "Palestinians" of crimes and if they were wrong, still announced the truth and whom they arrested. Israel doesn't need THIS crime to be by "Palestinians" - their hands are dripping with blood in many other places. But what we see is - the cover-up goes all the way up to Abbas and PA who desperately need a foreign worker to be the criminal here, or they are seen as the terrorists they are - again. The attack on the school bus also isn't helping their cause.

Most Leftists in Tel Aviv are very anti-IDF but are just "ho hum" in the face of Arab violence.

standing in line at a checkpoint for an hour is justification for killing Israeli children in their sleep.

If not, it's none of your business. Not everything will be published in the news to appease idiots like you, especially in Europe.

Once these two alleged murderers are convicted make sure those that assisted them before and after the crime (like Nawef Awad, the mother of the one accused, and the mayor of the town they lived in) are charged with being accessories before and after the fact.
